Sarah recommends focusing on obliques "2 times a week" to prevent injury. She advises Pilates and bodyweight exercises like side bends and planks, avoiding weights that may increase width. Balancing oblique exercises with core and full-body workouts is "key to increasing reps and weight" for a strong, toned midsection.

Sarah highlights walking as a free, accessible exercise that aids digestion and supports weight loss. She suggests incorporating walking into daily routines, like using a walk-pad at work or walking during phone calls. For effective short workouts, try brisk walks between workout sets or walking on an incline with proper form.

Sarah highlights that living in a walkable city boosts endorphins and aids digestion. For those in non-walkable areas, she suggests using a standing desk, taking 15-minute walks before meals, and walking during phone calls. Sarah says, "Regularly walking can create stackable habits," promoting healthier lifestyle choices.
